{Gossip Friday} Clark and Der Bingle Give Advice

From July 1941:

Clark Gable and Bing Crosby pass out identical
advice. If you want to be popular, successful and happy, say they, develop a
sense of humor.

“Because a sense of humor will let a girl be
natural,” specifies Clark Gable. “It will act as a shock absorber for the rough
spots a girl’s going to find wherever she goes. And because it’s a pleasure to
work with jolly people, she will find herself in demand everywhere.”

“A sense of humor makes affection impossible,”
explains Bing. “A sense of humor and a sincerity set off a girl’s
wholesomeness. That’s the best bit of happiness and success insurance any girl
can have.”
